A Letter which Monsieur Desdiguieres Constable of France hath sent to the King his Master to perswade him by pregnant reasons to make peace with the Rochellers and the other Protestants which liue in his Dominions and to shew how necessarie it is that the King of France enter in League with the Protestants and other Potentates Princes and States of Christendome to make warre against Spaine to hinder the King of Spaine from the Vniuersall Monarchie to which hee aspireth SIR THe Baron of Copet hauing informed me few dayes agoe of the present state of the affaires of Rochel and Arsen● the Extraordinary Embassadour which the States haue sent to your Maiesty hauing added to it the dispatch which I send with this present I haue thought my selfe bound both by reason of the importance of the matter in regard of the affection which I haue had alwayes to the good of your seruice to supplicate and beseech your Maiesty that you will be pleased to find good that I shew vnto you with all the respect I can that although the obstinacie of this people is excessiue that it seemeth that nothing can be added to their hardnesse your prudence may neuerthelesse keepe backe the effects of the resolutions which a just anger hath made you to 〈◊〉 and make you to deferre them till an other occasion to shew the displeasure and dis●ontentment which you haue conceiued against them for I assure you that it is as true as the light shineth that if your Majesty will 〈◊〉 dissention to grow in your State that he giueth the game wonne to the Spaniards and openeth vnto them the gate to the Vniuersall Monarchie It is you Sir that can hinder them from comming to it and this same reason moueth all other powers of Christendome to relie vpon yours without the ayde which they haue and expect from you in this occasion all their resistance is in vaine And if according to the ayme and scope of this common Enemy the domesticke occupation diuert you from it they shall be in danger to carry the yoke which they shun and your Majesties selfe shall put your State in ha●d to fall into great inconueniences I write 〈◊〉 this to excuse them in any manner ●●ose disobeisance hath made them guiltie 〈◊〉 for asmuch as concerneth the Rochellers 〈◊〉 not to condemne them with all the rigours of the World For it is certaine that they haue commited a crime of which after your Majesty God hath reserued the vengeance vnto himselfe For I hold Sir that they ought to acknowledge you absolutely and with an obeysance without any condition that they are bound to doe vnto you all endeuours of good and faithfull subjects But it is likewise certain that as you are one of the wisest Kings of the World you may vse in this matter your Royall prudence and practise this necessary course which seemeth to bee a part of the Royall Functions Now forasmuch as concerneth your state to kindle the warre in the same is to open the gate vnto the Spaniards and I beseech you Sir doubt not that they labour with all their power to increase it The like causes haue in former times brought it into such confusions that the end of them hath hardly beene seene after the expiration of fifty yeeres The same hath at other times caused all the disorders mischiefes which could not otherwise be remedied then by the valor of the late king your Father I doubt not but that amongst them which haue the honour to come neere to your Majesty there are some which will labour to make suspect the aduice and counsell which I giue and will metamorphose my sinceritie into a secret support of the Rebels But I giue thankes vnto God that your Majestie will not bee carried away with false impressions which others will conceiue to the prejudice of your Majesties loyall seruants The time it selfe justifieth enough that my counsel haue no other scope then your Majesties seruice But neither that which may hee said to disguise and disgrace my faithfull intentions nor that which may bee inuented ●w●ll minded persons who labour to make me vnprofitable and vnseruiceable shall ne●●● 〈◊〉 able to hinder mee from giuing your 〈◊〉 to vnderstand as I am bound my 〈◊〉 mind And I shall not leaue to protest 〈…〉 my conscience that such as will 〈◊〉 your Maiesty to beare armes against 〈◊〉 and to kindle the warre which will 〈◊〉 become a generall warre doe neither w●ll ●●unsell or serue your Majesty For al● it is belieued that it will come nei●●●● ●●ngued●ck nor in Guienne the contra●● 〈◊〉 seene And I am sure that your Maiesty knoweth that which is done in one of those Prouinces In another occasion if they doe not mend themselues you shall alwayes haue the same power yea if it may so be spoken you shall haue better meanes and it may bee that in the meane time they shall come to the acknowledgement of their endeuours Moreouer I may say that your Maiesty hauing atchieued with glory the affaires of Italy you may triumph at one time ouer two enemies namely the ●omesticke and Forreine in lieu that if you will rather expell the other then subdue these you shall lose the present aduantages which neuer had any of all the Kings your Predecessours It may please your Maiesty to pardon me and to attribute the freedome of my discourse to the affection which I beare to your Maiesty I expect your answere concerning this matter and pray God that hee will replenish you with all manner of graces and fauours Your Maiesties most humble most obeysant and most faithfull subject and seruant DESDIGVIERES Turin the 24. of December 1625.
